I've found a Fäldt sight to use for hunting, apparently it's one of, if not the rarest of the m/96 peep sight and I haven't found any information here in Sweden. Is the peep disk replaceable? It looks like the front ring can be unscrewed, but I haven't got a suitable tool and am afraid of...

I bought this locally but I don't think it's European. For one thing it's got a tapered eye instead of an hour glass shaped one which is normal and the way I was taught to make them. Does anyone recognize it or the makers mark?

A couple of months ago I was about to inherit my uncle's Winchester 9422 and needed to unload a rifle to get the new license. I had an Anschütz 22 WMR with mannlicher type stock that never got shot since the ammo is ridiculously expensive and so I popped into the gun store to see what it was...

I have a nice double trigger Tranter that I'd like to get a holster for. I'm just curious of anybody has seen such a beast, the only one I've found is a basic pouch-with-a-flap but I'd like an open cross draw. I'm just not sure about how to handle the cocking trigger

I need to know the dimensions of the pivot wedge.

Here's some Adams Patent revolvers of various types from my collection. Top: An early (1852, s/n 1433) Deane, Adams & Deane 38 Bore (approx. .50 cal) holster size revolver in bad shape with lots of things missing. Can be traced to Vicksburg about 20 years ago. BIG effing gun at almost...

Hi Bit of an off topic question. Anyone have a good suggestion on how to make heatshields for a RPG-7? I'm in the process of making weapon props for our Home Guard OPFOR I've got two semi finished RPG-7 missing the heatshields. No need for proper heat shielding properties as this is...

I was tidying up a bit in the garage and look what I found! I wondered where that one had gotten to Just in time as well as the Moose season opens on monday:D

I read a thread over at the Rifle Country and stumbled over this post Anyone else read it the same way I did? :D Took me a while to see what it actually said

The Rebel Raider & Murder in the Gunroom I just thought you might like this free eBook I found. Henry Beam Piper wrote mostly SciFi, but this is pure history. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2326.pdf

I've bought a lot of old flintlocks and parts and I got a Brown Bess lock that I'd like to restore. There are a couple of flintcocks with different throws to choose from when ordering so how do I know which one to get? The throw ought to be related to the distance between the center of the...

Disclaimer: This thread has very little black powder related content (none in fact) It's just me bragging I guess, but I never posted anywhere but in BP shooting on THR so here goes. Edit: Moved to the Rifle country, thanks mod! This weekend I joined Sweden's national guard, the Homeguard...

I was browsing through Peter Dyson's webshop in search for parts to reconvert my musket to flint and stumbled over this A 4 gauge elephant rifle :what: Bejeezes, thats like 26.7 mm or 1.053", what a monster! And it's a mere 22 lbs... Phew!!! If you have the nerve to pull the trigger...

Quick question I found a big sheet of industrial felt in my fathers garage, he got it years ago to sole his waders. It's roughtly 3X3' and 1/4" thick with a pair of size 9½ footprints cut out of one corner. It's a 70/30 mix of wool and rayon according to a sticker. Could this be used as wads...

I have an old Swedish army rifle in 12.17mm or .479 (groove .496) It's all but impossible to find bullets for it and I shoot double patched .457 round balls in it. That's good enough for shooting at tree stumps and enjoying the smoke and thunder but theese guns had a reputation for good...
